•You must have system administrator or network administrator privileges to see a list of all custom
reports configured on the server and to delete another user’s custom report. See Managing Custom
Reports, page 67-27.
If you use ACS to control access to Security Manager, you can also control user access to Report
Manager. When using ACS:
•You can control access to the Report Manager application using the View Report Manager privilege.
Using this privilege, you could prevent certain users from accessing Report Manager, or create roles
that allow access to Report Manager without allowing access to Event Viewer.
•Users can view reports on devices only if they have at least View privileges to the device.
For information on integrating Security Manager with Cisco Secure ACS, see the Installation Guide for
Cisco Security Manager.
